The linewidth of a laser, especially a single-frequency laser, refers to the width of its spectrum (typically full width at half maximum, FWHM). More precisely, it is the width of the radiated electric field power spectral density, expressed in terms of frequency, wavenumber, or wavelength. The linewidth of a laser is closely related to temporal coherence and is characterized by coherence time and coherence length. If the phase undergoes an unbounded shift, phase noise contributes to the linewidth; this is the case with free oscillators. (Phase fluctuations confined to a very small phase interval produce zero linewidth and some noise sidebands.) Shifts in the resonant cavity length also contribute to the linewidth and make it dependent on the measurement time. This indicates that the linewidth alone, or even a desirable spectral shape (lineform), cannot provide the full information about the laser spectrum.

Compared with traditional oxyacetylene, plasma and other cutting processes, laser cutting has the advantages of fast cutting speed, narrow slit, small heat affected zone, good verticality of slit edge, smooth cutting edge, and many kinds of materials that can be cut by laser. Laser cutting technology has been widely used in the fields of automobiles, machinery, electricity, hardware and electrical appliances.

When linearly polarized light is incident precisely along one of the principal axes (slow axis or fast axis), due to the huge difference in propagation constants between the two orthogonal polarization components, almost no energy coupling occurs between them, thereby maintaining the incident polarization state.

In the field of optical communications, long-distance transmission has long been challenged by issues such as signal attenuation and distortion. Raman fiber amplifiers, with their unique advantages, have become a key technology for improving the performance of long-distance optical communication systems.

Some solid-state laser gain media are doped with transition metal ions, and the transitions involved are those of electrons in the three-dimensional shell. Figure 1 shows the commonly used transition metal ions and their host media.

Recently, ResearchAndMarkets released the global industrial laser market analysis report. The global industrial laser market was valued at USD 6.89 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to USD 15.07 billion by 2027.
